Liverpool’s Pre-Season Mystery: Why These Six New Stars Are Wearing Unusual Shirt Numbers 🤔

🔴
Liverpool fans have spotted something strange this pre-season… and no, it’s not about tactics or transfers. Instead, all eyes are on the shirt numbers — and they’re way outside the usual range! 😳
From Florian Wirtz to Jeremie Frimpong, six of Liverpool’s new signings have been handed eye-catching numbers ranging from 55 to 60 during the pre-season tour. While it might look bizarre, there’s a simple explanation — these digits are temporary placeholders, not permanent squad assignments.
💥 Here’s how the current shirt lineup looks:
Giorgi Mamardashvili – No. 55
Freddie Woodman – No. 56
Milos Kerkez – No. 57
Florian Wirtz – No. 58
Jeremie Frimpong – No. 59
Armin Pecsi – No. 60
With official numbers yet to be finalized, Liverpool’s summer recruits are donning high figures as the club wraps up its signings and prepares the final squad list.
🎯 Interestingly, Wirtz was hoping for the iconic No. 10 shirt — famously worn by Michael Owen — but that’s currently taken by Alexis Mac Allister. So for now, Wirtz will train and play pre-season matches wearing No. 58, and is reportedly in line to receive No. 27 when the season begins.
Of course, Liverpool fans are no strangers to quirky shirt numbers. Trent Alexander-Arnold made the No. 66 iconic, and Declan Rice still rocks the No. 41 shirt, which he picked up as a youth player.
🚨 Whether these numbers will stick or not, one thing is clear: manager Arne Slot doesn’t care what’s on the back — as long as the performances on the pitch are worthy of Liverpool’s title ambitions.
Could one of these new faces become the next Anfield legend… with a number no one saw coming? 👀
